IFCS World Agility Champion - In May 2010 I was part of a team of 3 agility handlers selected to go to England to compete in the IFCS World Agility Championships. Due to the cost and the time constraints, we were unable to take our own dog, so we were loaned a dog in England to run. The dogs that we ran were ones that hadn’t made it into the Great Britain team, and with only 3 days before the event to get to know our new dog, we weren’t sure what to expect! However against all odds, Moss (the dog I was loaned) and I got it all together and won Gold in the Individual Jumping, the first time a Gold medal has ever been won with a borrowed dog!

Fuze came to live with me as an 11 month old off a farm. She hadn't been off the farm so I had to start from scratch, but she has ended up a fantastic little dog.
